The three-month residency program has been a continuous crossing process for the artists. At an individual level, it is a moment of refining the themes and modes of expression in their work, and exploring social structures, histories, and the intricate relationships between individuals and their emotions and memories. Therefore, this is the time that artists cross crossings of inner space with multiple trials of materials and methodologies.
On the other hand, in group wise, all of the residents have been sharing the same building and it was intersecting each other’s practices by learning and feeling their presence in the same place. Constant crossing time and space of one another enabled them to witness their work processes, inspire them to question and expand the network. Thus, artists cross larger crossings in external space made through collective activity in this period here.
Here, this exhibition Cross a Crossing to Cross becomes a point of convergence where the paths of fourteen artists intersect—each having crossed individually and collectively to shape and prepare for their next crossings—marking the culmination of this shared journey.
Amid the uncertainty and anxiety of the present, we seek crossings where the joy of creation and the vitality of living with others meet. We turn our attention to what is easily overlooked when we pass through countless intersections, posing collective questions that resist final answers embracing what is immature or vulnerable to nurture the strength to cross toward what comes next. All the crossings that we are going through remain resilient and free because they continue cross crossings again and again.
